Galbani® Three-Cheese Salami Calzone

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. Pizza dough
½ cup Spicy salami, sliced
1 cup Galbani Premio Mozzarella, shredded
½ cup Galbani Whole Milk Ricotta
⅓ cup Galbani Grated Parmesan
1 Egg, whisked for egg wash
1 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
  Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

METHOD

  1. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equally-sized pieces, and roll each into a ¼ inch thick circle.

  2. In a bowl, mix sliced salami, Mozzarella, Ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper, and mix until fully incorporated.

  3. Heap the filling equally on 2 of the dough circles, leaving a 1-inch border clean to allow for sealing each calzone.

  4. Cover with the other 2 dough circles, and crimp the edges well to seal. Then, brush the tops of each calzone with egg wash.

  5. Place the calzones on a baking sheet and cut 3 slits to vent on top of each calzone.

  6. Place the calzones in pizza oven. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. Makes 2 calzones.
